Module: Erector::Externals

Included in:
Widget
Defined in:
lib/erector/externals.rb

Overview

Externals are a mechanism by which a widget can declare page-level resources upon which it depends. They are not emitted during the widget’s normal emiting process. Rather, the Erector::Widget::Page keeps track of all the widgets it emits, then goes back and inserts the proper tags for all the externals inside its HEAD element.
